We bare purchased a large consignment of drapery ana clothing at 25 per cent, discount off i£nglish cost, and having now by far the largest and most fashionable stock in Auckland to select from.

Cosoeats and Co.—l-Atiti.T A Xoothles3 People.—Terrible times in "Warrenton, Ta., are thus depicted by the editor of the Sentinel: —" A few weeks ago a dentist came to town and advertised that he would ' remove all of a persou's teeth for 2d01., and insert a new set for lOdol., besides giving six months' credit.' The Warrenton people are very fond of bargains, so there was a rush for the dentist's office. He was busy for two weeks pulling teeth. At the end of that time half of the people had empty gums, and a bone-dust factory in the neiglibourhod doubled its workmen ao as to grind up the teeth. Meanwhile the people we re waiting for the dentist to lit them with new sets, when the scoundrel eloped with the hotel-keeper's wife, and now thero are two or throe thousand people in town who cannot eat anything tougher than-soup or farina. Al[ the butchers have failed, and not a cracker has been sold for three weeks. _ Ono man it is said whittled oat n set of woodon teeth for himself, but the first drink of whisKy he took—Warrenton whisky—set them in a blaze, and Ids funeral came off the next day. 'Xhe dentist will hear ; something to his disadvantage wlien'lle comes back.'
